On the eve of Mahatma Gandhi’s birth anniversary on 2^nd October this year, a special memoir Global Collectibles Of Mahatma Gandhi through Bank Notes, Coins & Stamps was launched. This special compilation also coincides with India’s 75 Azaadi Ka Mahotsav (75 years of celebration of India’s freedom and independence). It will showcase the legacy and influence of Gandhi ji worldwide.

This memoir is compiled and was launched by Mintage World: World’s first online museum on vintage and new Coins, Stamps & Notes.

It records and compiles all the commemorative issues printed and minted by various nations and post offices around the world in memory of Mahatma Gandhi, together with their historical significance.

Each coin and stamp honoring Mahatma Gandhi has been produced in India and around the world depicting a pivotal period in India’s history. Starting with the first stamp released in 1948, which featured his statue, and continuing through the 50th and 75th anniversaries of Indian independence. The 75th anniversary of Gandhi’s Dandi March and The Non-Violent Moment is also highlighted. Additionally, collections from more than 40 nations band together to honor Gandhi’s illustrious legacy of 100 & 150 years, among other things.

Postal Departments of France, Germany Srilanka, Turkey, Russia, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Fiji, Ireland, Egypt, Brazil, Bangladesh, Kenya, North Korea, Cuba, Czech Republic, and many others had issued stamps in various sizes, shapes, and materials. All these stamps have Mahatma Gandhi’s image in the foreground or background and are circulative & commemorative.
